Stott's best season was 1959 when he scored 2,034 runs and helped Yorkshire, captained by Ronnie Burnet, to win the County Championship for the first time since 1949.
[2] Stott joined the Royal Air Force for his national service and played for the RAF cricket team in minor matches.
Fred Trueman later recalled the final match of the 1959 season, which Yorkshire had to win if they were to claim the County Championship title.
Stott was eventually out for 96 and Padgett for 79 but they had won the match and Yorkshire achieved the target after only 95 minutes for the loss of five wickets.
Trueman said Stott had run so many singles in a short time that he was "absolutely knackered" when he came back to the dressing room where he "spent five minutes with a cup of tea, sitting staring at the floor".
Yorkshire were in a good position, however, and captain Vic Wilson made a sporting declaration in the hope of bowling Surrey out cheaply.
Stott was surprisingly successful and took the wickets of Edrich, Bernie Constable, Stewart Storey and Tony Lock in only ten overs.
[9] Stott was plagued by injuries in 1963 and missed several matches, as did his team-mates Ray Illingworth, Doug Padgett and Ken Taylor.
